Interdisciplinary research and teaching at universities can promote innovation and facilitate
collaborative efforts in the sustainability sciences. A truly sustainable society will require us to go
beyond interdisciplinary cooperation and employ fully integrated and systems-based thinking. The
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) and the School of Environmental and Forest
Sciences (SEFS) have a long tradition of collaboration. The challenges of the future demand that we bu

4.4 Summary of Section 4 Thermal energy is a random thing, so any group of particles possessing it will have a distribution of kinetic energies. The fraction of particles with energy greater than an amount E1 is proportional to exp(−E1/kT). Thermally activated rates follow Arrhenius's law and are characterised by an activation energy. Diffusion in solids and electrical conduction i

This paper provides evidence on the level of media richness that may be cost effective in the development of e-learning tutorials for teaching and learning computer visualization techniques. For such a purpose the author provides an analysis of low-cost / high-impact media rich products, the effort and cost required in their development and the measurement of related learning outcomes. Circa twenty years of R&D of multimedia and hypermedia applications for instruction have demonstrated the benef

Introduction This unit looks at communication systems where devices are the main players, passing information to and from each other and possibly acting on that information to produce some kind of outcome. In these interactions, people may not be involved at all, or may have roles that are limited only to the initial setting of schedule (such as when certain tasks should be performed) and parameters (such as particular conditions that should be satisfied before a task is performed). Some people may
